Mechanism of Action
This ingredient increases Natural Moisturizing Factors like hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, while limiting transepidermal water loss through enhanced lipid and protein synthesis. It also improves water circulation by increasing aquaporin-3 expression, maintaining hydrolipidic balance and promoting cell regeneration.
